Last night I lite a 'macaron' candle and said a little prayer...Photo by Helene DujardinMacaron Queen, par excellance, Helene Dujardin is joining forces with Pioneer Woman, Ranch Queen, for a prize weekend in July of baking macarons, shooting them and riding broncos in OK. If you're a photography afficianado you'll definitely love Helene's new book on how to shoot food. I'm working my way through it.Ree Drummond of 'Pioneer Woman'is the mistress of home on the range. If you haven't visited, run over right now. You'll not be disappointed. And why not throw your hat into the ring to win this terrific weekend (July 23-24) baking and shooting macarons. Wouldn't it be great if a PBer won?T-shirt by ANNE MAISONEUVEI entered the contest. Even though I LIVE in macaron T-shirts and wear macaron boxer shorts. I drink out of a macaron cup... Use a 'macaron' mouse pad daily, still I cannot bake macarons!Macarons infiltrate my life in every possible way. But shouldn't I be baking the %$#@ things as well? I may have the biggest collection of mini macarons on the planet... While others go to Paris and buy Christian Dior socks I spend all my $$$ on macarons...

Attempting to read Japanese pastry books on macarons is not beyond me. It's called obsession.Besides BEAR says he'd like to go.

I am embarrassed to admit that I have Never had the pleasure of a macaroon! I enjoy vicariously through your lovely blog. Winning this contest would allow me to experience something I've only dreamed about..Merci for this competition !

I really enjoy your site and its pictures - you do a great job. However, Ree lives in Oklahoma - you're really sure you want to go there????? :) (This is meant to be a funny comment as I live in OK myself.) Joan

Zut! I missed it. Never mind: I know how to make macarons and it's easier than you think. Come on, Carol - you can do it. Just have the confidence, and go for "Mad About Macarons!". It's fun, too :-)Jill xo
